Did not occur to me when we had our 2nd rental property which was jointly owned that I need to declare 50/50 especially since I am managing all the rental income/expenses. It was only 3 years ago when I was talking to my accountant about dividend declaration and other tax matters that I was told it should be 50/50 since it is jointly owned. Had a hard time explaining to DH but in the end, it did not affect the tax bracket that he was in so he stopped grumbling.

We dare not choose options other than 50/50.
We don’t know the legal implications and complications.
This declaration brought us to the next tax bracket. We have to further tighten our belts...
It refers to the Legal Share.

Since yours is a HBD flat, I believe the above will clarify your situation: your HDB is joint tenancy or tenancy-in-common?
Joint tenancy 50/50 legal share
Tenancy-in-common - to refer to your HDB deed for the %

Tks for sharing. there is no way to put the rental income to one person who pays lesser tax?

Not allowed - we thought of that too!

There is a field to indicate Legal Share of Property.
So far I chose 50/50 split between my in-laws.[/quote]If the property is owned as \"in common\" with specific shares to each owner, eg. 10%-90%, then you can indicate it there and share the income out accordingly. But if the property is jointly owned, then it has to be 50%-50%.

See maintenance in

Would you interpret management corporation as town councils/HDB?
Can always send a tax mail to IRAS to clarify.
IRAS usually replies within 5 days for straight forward queries.

I think we always claimed it when renting out our HDB flat. It's the equivalent of maintenance for pte condos. But I don't think you can claim it if the tenant pays it.

I suppose the easiest way would be just declare the rental income and not claiming any expenses spent.

Appreciate advice, pls.

Is the monthly town council and maintenance fees for hdb considered as rental expenses incurred? Tks
I looked up at IRAS rental expenses, there is no mention on these payments to town council/ HDB.

Would claiming the deemed expenses of 15% be more beneficial in your case?

We rented out our hdb in Jan 2017. I think we need to declare this in Apr 2018
I am just wondering how to split this rental income btn dh and I in the income tax filing
I think you are supposed to just halve it for a jointly-owned property. That's what we did for the years we rented out our flat.

[quote=\"starlight1968sg\"]For the past 2 years, I received a SMS to inform that I dont need to do any filing at all.


You do not check whether your organization auto filing scheme has filed for you correctly?

I gave up on checking a few years ago bec I couldnt tally the numbers.
I trust ofc has submitted the correct amt, no more but can be less[/quote]Starlight, I just read your post. If you rented out your old house last year and the house is under both your DH and your name, you need to declare your rental income as part of your income so need to do the filing.

If your income falls below a certain amount, no need to submit. Should be able to call to verify if need to submit. Now everything is supposedly to know on your own… No more reminders. Of course, those filing needs to check the relief parts, which may change over the years. Your annual income will be auto captured under AIS.
